Property Description for 208 Van Buren Street

Originally constructed in 1899, this newly renovated home is the perfect combination of high-end finishes, modern technology, and impeccable details, an honorable salute to its past.


This townhouse is a 19-foot-wide, four-story, two family Brownstone. The house features 6 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, 1 powder room, a large parlor deck, and expansive backyard garden. From the American Walnut floors to original woodwork, attention to detail can be found throughout this well-appointed home.


As you enter the owner's 4 bed 4.5 bath triplex, you are greeted by a mosaic tiled foyer and an oversized half-glass entry door. Stepping into a parlor floor, you realize the breadth of space as the 10-foot ceilings let the light radiate throughout the space. The living/dining area features a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen features custom cabinetry and Caesarstone countertops as well as a farmhouse sink and a full complement of appliances including Viking refrigerator, Wolf six-burner stove, and microwave drawer. This eat-in kitchen is a chef's dream.


Upstairs you find four bedrooms and four full baths. The elegant master bedroom faces the serene backyard gardens and features three windows, a reading nook and large closet space. The five-fixture master bath is adorned with marble tiled floors, a tasteful double vanity, a glass-enclosed rain shower, and a deep-soakng tub. Down the hall, is another bedroom and classic second bathroom. On the third floor there are two large bedrooms each with a bright, skylit bathroom.


The private basement can be accessed through an interior staircase and is finished with tile floors. It can easily be transformed into a playroom, media den or artist studio. The separate garden floor two-bedroom unit can serve as an income-producing property or in-law apartment.


This masterfully reimagined townhouse is located in the heart of Bedford-Stuyvesant. You are moments away from great establishments such as Saraghina's, Peaches, and Simply Tommy as well as Von King Park. Nearby public transportation includes the J train or the Dekalb B38.

Bedford Stuyvesant | Brooklyn

Quick Profile

Known for its historic brownstones and tight-knit enclave, Bed-Stuy has increasingly left behind its early reputation for being a “bedroom community” and transcended into a highly desirable neighborhood. 

Distinct for its aesthetic, it is populated with ornate buildings characterized by cornices, friezes, finials, fluting and other marks of classic architecture. Built up during the period from 1870 to 1900, its historic district runs to the north of Jefferson Avenue, to the east of Malcolm X Boulevard and to the west of Tompkins Avenue. 

At one point known as “Brooklyn’s Little Harlem,” the shape of the area has shifted toward attracting a wider demographic of people thanks to the influx of bars, restaurants, antique furniture stores and vintage boutiques. More police enforcement paired with the decline of the crack epidemic at the beginning of the 2000s also opened the door for increased development, as well as the occupation of formerly abandoned buildings and spaces.
